Verses 16-20
16.
Magnet and iron wise
Never cease attracting me
And be one with me,
Arunachala!
17.
Ocean of mercy
In the form of a mount
Do have mercy on me,
Arunachala!
18.
Gem of light that shines below
Above and everywhere,
My baseness do destroy,
Arunachala!
19.
Shining as my guru’s form,
My evils do destroy
And virtuous make me,
Arunachala!
20.
Stand by me lest I fall
Prey to the tortures
Of the sharp cutting snares,
Arunachala!
